Line 8 or the Gold Line is a proposed line of the Mumbai Metro. It would run from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to the under construction Navi Mumbai International Airport.[1] [2] The 35-kilometre (22 mi) line would be fully elevated and cost ₹150,000,000,000.[2] The proposed line would have a frequency of 15 minutes and five or six stations, a relatively low density.[1]
It has been approved by the Government of Maharashtra, and the Detailed Project Report will be made by CIDCO. It is to be developed in a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, similar to Mumbai Metro Line 1.[3]
